The cause of the blast wasn’t immediately known. It took place at 4:49 p.m. outside the Fengxian Innovation Kindergarten in Jiangsu province, the Fengxian police said.
China’s minister of public security, Guo Shengkun, ordered a full-scale rescue effort and investigation into the blast, according to China’s official Xinhua News Agency. He sent a deputy minister to the site and demanded increased checks of potential risks in crowded areas, Xinhua said.
Videos purportedly from the scene and circulating on social media showed adults and children lying on the ground, some covered in blood. The videos couldn’t be immediately verified by The Wall Street Journal.
